Southeast Asian Countries Tightened Import Restrictions On Foreign Waste

 Recently, Malaysia, the Philippines, Indonesia and other Southeast Asian countries have continuously tightened restrictions on the import of foreign waste, publicly repatriated a large amount of garbage back to their countries of origin, and returned containers from the United States, Canada and other developed countries. According to data, from 2016 to 2018, the amount of plastic waste imported from the ASEAN region increased from 837,000 tons to 2.266 million tons, an staggering increase of 171%. In May of this year, more than 180 countries around the world revised the Basel Convention and decided to include plastic waste in import and export restrictions, aiming to control the transboundary movement and disposal of hazardous waste.
